Wonderful historical place. Great for photography buffs. The old cemetery surrounds the church. Go inside and find a docent that will give you the history of the church and interesting facts. A must see.

We opted not to take the tour due to time limitations before another tour, but overheard the excellent tour guide at the church and wished we could have stayed longer. Where we spent our time, however, was taking photos in and around this historic masterpiece. Just walking among the crypts and tombs of Revolutionary and Civil War heroes and citizens...

While I didn't go in the church itself, I did wander the grounds reading about the folks buried there. What a snapshot of history! From colonial patriots to Confederate War generals, they are all here! I always wish I could know more about the lives of these folks whose names grace the roads, homes, and towns nearby. So peaceful.

I am a history buff and loved the history and architecture here. The church bells were ringing 10 am when we walked through the grave yard. Lots of 18th century history and wonderful grave stones in the surrounding cemetery. Don't miss a walk through if you love this type of thing.

Three hundred years and counting...that is how old the St. Helena's Congregation is in Beaufort, SC. This building is really a beautiful place. Originally built in 1724, the Church building that you will see now was build in 1842. It has survived hurricanes and floods and the Great Depression. I think that they give tours of the Church with Docents....

Make this one of your first stops if you are interested in the history of Beaufort. Founded in 1712 (current church dates to 1724), this church is one of the oldest in America. The volunteer docents, free handouts, and a visit to the churchyard give you a remarkable overview of the history of Beaufort. Very moving to see American and...
